As crops dwindle and dragons reappear, mankind stands on the verge of total chaos. Lord Archmage Sparrowhawk, a powerful wizard, and Arren, a troubled young prince, search for the force behind this mysterious imbalance that threatens to destroy the land of Earthsea.

What's left behind the scenes

Due to licensing issues (the rights to adapt Ursula K. Le Guin's books belonged to the Sci-Fi Channel, which released the miniseries "Legends of Earthsea" in 2004), the film could not be released in the US before 2009, when the license expired.
